Thats not to say it we wouldn't benefit from native M1 support but x86 compatibility will be around for a long time and I'm pretty sure because of this Square will be happy to let the game sit as is given most people don't play it on macs. I also have an M1 Air.
Also that person does not seem to know that Apple Silicon is ARM-based, even the Surface Pro X is ARM, and Windows can run on ARM. Considering Apple didn't stop selling their last x86 Mac until 2020, the policy is at-least 7 years before vintage status and stop getting latest support. 2014 Macs can run Monterey.

More importantly M1 Mac is even superior to console versions because it can support GShade, and ACT among other things at 60+ fps in macOS Monterey.
